Does this protect from art work fading? Oil and acrylic paintings to be more precise. Thank you

If the product does actually block 99% of UV rays as stated, then it should block the vast majority of fading from occurring. Any light can eventually fade color, especially if the item is in full direct sun the entire day. However, UV light is the primary cause of this fading. A product that blocks all but 1% of UV light from penetrating should greatly reduce fading. No product can block all fading of a product left in the light, and any fading that would occur would be minimal and take place over decades. If it's valuable art that you will keep forever, I'd make sure it's not in direct sun at all. If it's out of direct sun, then this product should keep it safe from reflected UV quite well. I installed this product to stop wood from fading, but haven't had it on long enough to know if it actually works. I'm just speaking from the general science end of things. Hope this helps some.

According to this window film manufacturer, UV light only accounts for 40% of fading, and most windows block 20-40% of UV just by being glass. This would slow fading, but not prevent it entirely. http://solarsolutionsny.com/fading.html

I believe the recommendation is that you should use tinted bottles for storage to help prevent the breakdown of the oils from the light. However, I personally use the clear ones because I am diluting my oils with a carrier oil in the roller bottles and I using them up quickly so I feel they aren't in the clear bottles long enough to break down. I also store the bottles in a bag that does not let any light through.

I don't know if it protects them if they aren't healed yet,but it really helps to keep them from not fading! I have tried all Snookis lotions & JWowws lotions & this is by far the best! Hope this helps!

Hello,Thank you for your question. This product will not be effective in fading tattoos. For that you need to contact a specialist. Warm regardsReyna

If the product you are painting is already magnetized, painting over it will not take that property away. Hope this helps!

Mika, I sure don't know about your craft. I do, have a bit of knowledge about acrylic copolymers. These towels should be perfect for your project as they have a very tight knit. this will allow you to use less paint and not bleed through. I would guess that the edges of your painting project will be more defined. Hope this helps! HKW

I can't help you. I bought this to repair a leather office chair. Doesn't stick well to leather. Thin, but seem strong. I think it is made to repair books bindings. So, to repair paintings, i'd have to be concerned about the tape glue causing issued with the painting or the backing.

I agree with your comment. I don't know but I retract it when not in use. My awning is a very light color so any fade would be hardly notice-able. Darker colors would be more visible.

I wouldn't use this Krylon product on an oil painting. It works fine on objects like pine cones but does not deposit an even coat on flat surfaces like paintings. I've used it when nothing else is available to protect my photo prints.

I bought these for my wife since she was having migraines and the fumes from the paint thinners she had been using became a real issue. acrylic paints eliminate the need for those awful types of thinners. Water to thin, and I think there is a sealer available in this same product line too. We made sure the paint is good and dry before applying any sealer, at least 24 hrs I think. hope this helps, JR.

It will neutralize what's in the air and on the paint surface fairly well. If there is still some smell inside the paint or the wall it might come back, though. It'll probably do fine with latex but oil-based might take longer. If fumes got into things like carpets or furniture it will get that. So...no guarantees, but usually will knock it down and out of other items. Some oil-base or polyurethane takes a few weeks for the 'oily' smell to go.

I've heard spray paint melts foam, I painted this product with acrylic & it worked okay. It's definitely delicate (scratch the surface accidently and the paint comes off)

I wouldn't -- wrong formula. Instead, look at the line of artist's fixatives and sprays made by Krylon. They're designed to do just that -- protect paper artwork and printed material from moisture, yellowing, smudges, etc. Read their descriptions and you'll be able to choose which one sounds like the protection you're looking for.

I haven't yet tried it over acrylic...Thanks for asking I will surely try this and see if it works better.

Yes, the etching is permenant and will remain if it gets wet. I did have to leave the product on for quite a while for it to have the etching effect I wanted. I applied several coats as well and left each one on for about 30 minutes.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

I do not know. Further I would not try it. Acrylic art is done with acrylic paint, thus it is plastic. If you do anything, mat the picture and frame it behind UV plastic instead of glass. Protect any valuable piece of art work in a covered enclosure.
